Giannoulis Larentzakis scored 17 points while Petros Melissaratos had 12 points and Eleftherios Bochoridis hit for 11 as Greece dropped to 0-2 in the group.

Greece scored the first five points of the game and were still deadlocked at 13-13 before trailing 19-15 after one period.

Poland could not pull away from the Greeks in the second quarter though they led 39-30 at the break.

The hosts pushed the lead to 41-30 but Greece chiseled away with hard defense and took the lead on a three-pointer by Larentzakis to make it 53-50. But Poland star Ponitka answered with a layup and the Greeks led 53-52 after three periods.

Poland tightened their defense and hit just enough shots to put together an 11-0 run over seven minutes to open a 61-53 lead. Melissaratos stopped the scoring drought but it was too late as Poland had found their offensive rhythm and finished off the upset-minded Greeks.
